Canine Sagaeity.

A black and white collie, belonging
to one of the shepherds at Bughtrigg.
was sent on Tuesday from Jedburgh by
train to Langholm. The dog arrived
safely at Langholm. and remained
quietly at his new home till Friday
morning, when he was missed. To the
surprise of his former owner, he ap-
peared early on Monday morning at
Bughtrigg, a distance of nearly sixty
miles from Langholm. Now. when it
is stated that this dog had gone by
train and had never travelled a foot Of
the road before. the fact Of his finding
his way back over hills and mOors to
his former home is certainly remark
able instance of that sagacity, or. well.

A Famous Artist.


Miss GeorgiDe Campbell is the most
famous portrait painter among the women
artists OF America. She has received as
high prices for her work as any living artist
In this country, and during her career has
painted eighty'three portraits of some OF
the most prominent political and social
stars. Miss Campbell owes her first lesson
in art to the great Healy, with whom she
studied In Paris. To him she credits her
present success as an artist.
1t is not generally known that one OF the
best portraits Of the late Gen. Grant was
executed by her, and II received the indorse-
ment Of Col. Fred Grant. No portrait of
the great soldier has received so much
praise from the members Of his own family
and intimate friends as this, FOR the artist
seems TO have been able to catch that
peculiar light which shone In the generals
eyes when engaged in animated converse.
tiop. An unsuccessful attempt was made
by burglars q short time ago to steal this
valuable painting, aud It had been cut from
the frame when they were suddenly sur
prised In the midst of their work and CON-
PEELED to flee.
Miss Campbell has exhibited pictures for
the past three years at every academy ex-
hibition, and at the Worlds Fair ut New
Orleans one OF her works was awarded tho
blue ribbon OF merit for its excellence and
artistic value. In the artists studio hangs
the picture Of mandolin player, poetic
and picturesque figure of a girl standing
with folded hands looking across sunlit
landscape. Mrs. James Brown Potter
posed for this figure, but the face has been
somewhat idealized by the artist. 1t is a
striking picture which at once arrests the
VISITORS attention, charmed by the spirit
uelle expression Of the face and the great
dreamy eyes that seem to follow you about
the room until you become nervous.
That Miss Campbell has been successful
is but another proof that talent cannot be
long suppressed when backed by energy
and will. As an artist her work will bear
comparison with the first. She seems to
have the faculty of painting people when
they are looking their best, and yet with
out ilattering exaggeration. Miss Camp.
bell spends part Of the winter In Washing
ton and is at present In the city visiting
friends, of whom she has host, and these
are numbered among the most influential
in social life. In due time Miss Campbell
will give an art reception and will be
visited by several Of the most prominent
ladies Of the city.
